Liz is a con artist. She’s pretty good at it, although she’s prone to occasional slip-ups, which necessitate her having to abandon a scheme. But she usually walks away with some benefit.
Isabelle, a wealthy socialite, hires Liz to oversee the installation of a major artwork at her villa in an exclusive part of Puerto Vallarta. She and her husband will be at a retreat in Bali, so Liz is free to stay at the villa, which should give her some time to plan her next move.
When Liz is mistaken for Isabelle, she decides to pretend to be the woman for the few days she’s in Puerto Vallarta. It’s not a bad situation at all, even though she’s constantly worried she’ll be found out.
But the more Liz slips into Isabelle’s life, the more questions she has about why the woman would not take advantage of all the privileges she has. Little by little, she realizes that Isabelle’s life might not have been the idyllic situation it appears from Liz’s vantage point. Liz might find herself in the middle of some precarious circumstances she is not expecting.
I love a good con artist story, and my attention was hooked fully on this book from start to finish. I enjoyed Krysten Ritter’s first book, Bonfire, and it was good to see that wasn’t a fluke. The twists kept coming and I devoured this in one sitting.
